the
world
in
her
heart
was
dark
and
so
cold
but
the
sun
shone
on
her
skin
Tuesday, July 15, 2014
there
was
an
undercurrent
I
didn't
like
just
below
her
surface

this
pain
he's
put
in
my
heart
will
tear
me
apart
I'll
die
holding
it
who
do
you
turn
to
when
your
love
has
left
you
when
you
have
no
one

if
you're
wondering
where
all
my
poems
are
they're
down
by
the
river

we
found
a
blue
jay's
feather
so
rare
and
when
we
mostly
find
the
crow's
I
felt
like
Lolita
in
the
backyard
with
her
mother
and
that
man
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
the
sun
came
to
me
and
I
welcomed
her
and
laid
with
her
awhile
falling
in
love's
like
a
punch
in
the
gut
that
you
really
really
liked
read
a
book
laid
in
the
sun
dreamt
felt
the
breeze
drank
some
wine
just
was

when
he
holds
me
in
his
arms
there
isn't
anywhere
I'd
rather
be

the
worlds
in
her
head
I
would
love
to
visit
I
want
to
grow
old
in

she
stood
there
with
all
of
her
lovely
right
beside
all
of
the
ugly
he
bellied
up
to
the
bar
where
they
knew
him
to
escape
those
that
knew
him
the
moon
is
in
the
sky
so
white
and
the
day
is
so
yellow
and
bright

would
you
ride
a
horse
fly
on
an
eagle's
back
or
swim
with
the
fishes
Thursday, July 3, 2014
I
can't
tell
you
how
beautiful
the
land
looks
you
just
have
to
see
it

the
girl
watched
the
boy
her
eyes
never
leaving
him
walking
toward
home
Tuesday, July 1, 2014
I
love
love
it
makes
me
sigh
and
cry
and
it's
everything
even
sad
Monday, June 30, 2014
I
was
sure
that
I'd
be
schooled
by
my
children
not
the
other
way
'round
Sunday, June 29, 2014
there
is
weather
on
his
face
I
hadn't
seen
before
he's
so
quiet
I
talked
'bout
pinecones
the
rich
and
how
we're
all
naked
under
our
clothes
Saturday, June 28, 2014
we've
all
got
a
story
to
tell
and
many
more
stories
yet
to
live
Friday, June 27, 2014
the
fiddle
wept
gently
even
the
rose
leaned
in
I
was
moved
standing
still
mars
ain't
the
kinda
place
to
raise
your
kids
in
fact
it's
cold
as
hell
-Elton John, Rocket Man
Thursday, June 26, 2014
your
eyes
are
oh
so
pretty
they
sparkle
even
when
the
sky
doesn't
the
sky
opened
up
like
it
was
going
to
hug
me
and
then
it
didn't
Wednesday, June 25, 2014
the
cat
meowed
the
crow
cawed
the
baby
cried
and
all
in
time
with
the
wind
Monday, June 23, 2014
you
sang
a
pretty
note
that
gave
way
to
the
next
pretty
note
you
sang
I
wanna
run
away
and
stay
still
and
fly
and
lay
down
forever
my
desire's
so
painful
I'm
a
prisoner
of
my
own
damn
design
Sunday, June 22, 2014
seriously
dudes
everything
is
awesome
when
you're
part
of
a
team
Saturday, June 21, 2014
it
was
like
the
sky
was
singing
so
I
started
singing
along
too
Friday, June 20, 2014
I
fall
in
love
with
you
harder
each
day
how
could
you
do
this
to
me
she's
just
a
magical
pony
with
no
horn
and
without
any
wings
Thursday, June 19, 2014
it's
like
they
sang
in
that
song
when
I
want
you
all
I
have
to
do
is
dream
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
I
lay
in
the
open
grass
feeling
the
soft
warm
green
blades
beneath
me
Tuesday, June 17, 2014
the
grass
blew
in
the
winds
I
remember
being
a
girl
in
your
arms
Monday, June 16, 2014
there's
no
breaking
this
spell
my
sweet
you
belong
to
me
and
this
forest
I
woke
at
3
anxious
couldn't
sleep
'cause
I
hadn't
written
a
poem
Saturday, June 14, 2014
I
was
sweet
to
the
honey
moon
and
the
honey
moon
was
sweet
to
me
Friday, June 13, 2014
the
honey
moon
was
out
in
love
on
the
luckiest
day
of
the
year
there's
nothing
like
the
gold
heart
of
a
true
friend
nothing
like
it
at
all
Thursday, June 12, 2014
as
I
stood
washing
the
dishes
the
sounds
of
the
children
made
me
smile
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
I
miss
you
so
damn
much
I
want
nothing
more
than
to
cry
all
day
long
family
is
who
you
love
who
loves
you
not
always
where
your
blood
comes
from
my
brown
eyes
are
blue
I
look
for
you
in
the
clouds
and
I
don't
see
you

the
cat
laid
in
the
grass
by
the
fence
in
the
shaded
part
of
the
lawn
Monday, June 9, 2014
she
walked
like
the
sound
of
the
music
coming
from
the
taqueria
the
favorite
movie
the
song
you
always
sang
the
land
you
used
to
walk
the
moon
came
out
white
clear
everyday
comforting
me
until
nightfall
Sunday, June 8, 2014
she
told
me
to
look
at
the
sky
so
we
looked
together
at
the
sky
Saturday, June 7, 2014
her
hair
blew
in
the
wind
she
closed
her
eyes
and
saw
herself
somewhere
else
Thursday, June 5, 2014
the
bugs
gold
frenzied
together
mobbed
under
the
sunlight
hovering
Wednesday, June 4, 2014
my
poetry
is
too
quick
for
me
I
sing
all
the
songs
to
myself
Tuesday, June 3, 2014
she
said
there's
nothing
that
will
make
it
better
I
felt
a
little
better
I
heard
Bob
Dylan
sing
Kingsport
Town
and
I
touched
the
baby's
pink
cheeks
Sunday, June 1, 2014
I
want
to
tell
you
about
the
moon
It's
lovely
so
very
lovely
Friday, May 30, 2014
I
rolled
down
the
windows,
I
let
down
my
hair
and
it
lifted
my
heart.

the
mountain
I
grew
under
was
colored
in
sun
and
shaded
with
clouds
Monday, May 26, 2014
there
was
every
kind
of
cloud
in
the
sky
and
the
trees
had
raccoon
eyes
Sunday, May 25, 2014
long
nights
and
longer
days
the
winds
feel
entirely
different
than
before
Saturday, May 24, 2014
there's
nothing
I
can
do
or
anyone
can
do
nothing
we
can
do
Friday, May 23, 2014
I'd
driven
that
river
drive
so
many
times
but
that
time
was
different
it's
like
she's
waiting
around
for
the
phone
to
ring
but
it
won't
ever
Thursday, May 22, 2014
thank
god
there's
so
many
sweet
souls
in
this
world
that
I'm
lucky
to
know
some
Wednesday, May 21, 2014
the
road
leads
me
where
I
want
to
go
the
land
cradles
me
where
I
stay
today
is
all
about
the
rose
something
of
the
marvelous
sparkle
Tuesday, May 20, 2014
the
twin
bridges
a
russian
olive
down
by
the
yakima
river
you
can
cut
the
flower
blooms
from
the
bush
but
more
just
grow
in
its
place
Monday, May 19, 2014
he
reminds
me
of
unrelated
things
like
the
blooming
cherry
trees
Sunday, May 18, 2014
the
squirrels
kissed
and
hugged
I
cried
cold
tears
and
I
cut
roses
for
the
vase
I
drove
highways
through
brown
lands
and
yellow
suns
and
green
lands
and
grey
skies
the
landscape
is
breaking
my
heart
the
way
I
want
to
be
broken
once
love's
a
part
of
you
that
love
can
never
not
be
a
part
of
you
Saturday, May 17, 2014
the
flowers
grew
from
the
cracks
in
the
concrete
like
they
knew
how
I
felt
the
sun
burned
hot
in
my
rearview
mirror
and
I
saw
darkness
ahead
I
was
anxious
for
our
visitor
sadness
the
rose
bushes
had
bloomed
this
dream
he
was
smiling
and
making
us
laugh
I
was
cold
when
I
woke
the
dragonfly
flew
it
was
blue
and
gold
and
danced
in
the
air
for
us

how
can
the
clouds
be
so
pretty
the
sun
so
warm
and
this
death
be
so
cruel
all
the
horse
ranches
were
still
there
and
the
little
store
and
that
old
house
I
talked
to
myself
like
there
was
some
other
soul
there
but
there
wasn't
it
was
too
much
for
my
heart
I
couldn't
look
at
the
rose
I
was
so
sad
Friday, May 9, 2014
the
roses
are
coming
they'll
bring
some
pink
red
and
yellow
to
the
grey
the
mermaid's
a
horror
of
the
sea
the
unicorn
a
sweaty
beast

we
gotta
get
outta
this
place
if
it's
the
last
thing
we
ever
do!
-The Animals
I
touched
her
hair
with
my
finger
and
wished
I
could
touch
it
forever
hurry
light
it's
dark
and
cold
here
in
this
tunnel
I've
been
gone
some
time
Wednesday, May 7, 2014
I
sat
with
the
sun
in
my
face
it
was
hot
I
didn't
move
away
Tuesday, May 6, 2014
the
bloom
was
early
red
a
rose
bud
and
it
seemed
happy
not
lonely
I
want
your
drama
the
touch
of
your
hand
I
want
your
love
love
love
love
-Lady Gaga
I
rubbed
the
rose
petals
with
my
thumb
so
soft
you'll
die
soon
too
I
said
Monday, May 5, 2014
the
rocks
were
brightly
colored
hills
under
the
many
dark
shades
of
clouds
the
moon
looked
just
right
behind
the
pines
as
it
did
in
the
desert
too
I
was
walking
very
fast
suddenly
I
slowed
to
almost
a
stop
Sunday, May 4, 2014
we
crossed
the
open
range
where
steer
and
heifer
crossed
the
open
highway
the
sky
hills
and
a
sign
that
read
"Shady
Lady
Ranch
22
miles"
Friday, May 2, 2014
I'm
stepping
through
the
door
and
I'm
floating
in
a
most
peculiar
way.
-David Bowie
It
takes
two
to
make
a
thing
go
right.
It
takes
two
to
make
it
outta
sight.
-Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock
